Tumblr!
Site redesign incoming! Gonna flip the color palette, brighten up the place a bit, and add a tumblr feed for the little bits of gaming and personal detritus that flow through the ol’ browsing baleen every day.
For an early start, go here: driph.tumblr.com.

HoN Stats, a little Heroes of Newerth stat tracking app that a friend and I having been tinkering with on the side, is now live.
DailyWiki
I’m a fairly voracious reader of Wikipedia, and I like to collect and share the most interesting articles I run across. Last weekend, I turned that uh, hobby, into a site called DailyWiki.
Every day, one strange, fascinating, or notable Wikipedia article will be simultaneously posted to both the blog and the @DailyWiki twitter feed. It’s like one of those word-a-day blogs, but longer.
While I’ve assembled a fairly deep queue of articles, please feel free to submit your own personal favorites.
[And yeah, I've since discovered another fellow who's been doing pretty much the same thing since July (which didn't come as a surprise, the concept itself isn't particularly novel), but I'm hoping that my particular editorial take will help the site stand out.]

Following in the footsteps of Ken Levine, Bill Fraiser from Ironclad, and those wife-beating Turbine guys, I was a guest on this week’s GWJ Conference Call. This appearance is especially notable in that it’s the first time I’ve ever said cock in an interview. [1]
